Having finished my personal Vorkosigan saga, I am craving a solidly great sci fi or fantasy series I can get cheap on Kindle or free through my library (at least the first book) . I have read some of the obvious ones. The first Dark Tower and Wheel of Time book are both checked out; I put on holds but am impatient to start something. Suggestions? Minimum three published books: I crave a quest.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm rereading the Steerswoman series, but that isn't finished.
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams? The Young Wizards by Diane Duane? She's had a sale on at her ebook store lately.
The last book of the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater has just come out.
Barbara Hambly's Darwath books?

I really like Tanya Huff's Confederation of Valor series. It's military based sci fi. I like the world building. Some of the stories get out there but no too bad. I'm reading John Scalzi's The Old Man's War universe now.
My library has Scalzi not sure about Huff though.

Hey. New board.
I have read the old man's war. Solid. Also young wizards, one of my faves. I am bookmarking both of y'all's suggestions for future, so thanks for that. I grabbed Black Trillium, written by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton off of Amazon for six dollars (cheap enough). It has four sequels and I love Julian May so we will see how that goes.

The Harry Dresden books? There are 14 (or 15?) of them, so you're guaranteed a chunk of reading.

I recently reread CJ Cherryh's Morgaine books (four books beginning with "Gate of Ivrel") and felt they still stood up well. Also her Chanur books (five books starting with "Pride of Chanur") which I love.

Hey. New board.
It is probably time for me to give Discworld a real try too.

Oh man, I've been meaning to read the Discworld books, too. I keep forgetting.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. The world is a much better place with Sam Vimes in it.

One of our besties is vehement that I should start with "Guards! Guards!" Does that sound like a good place to jump in?
